September 4, 2009The original story is beautiful, and it should and could have been a great film had it been given to a more competent director with a totally different cast. It's sickly sweet, like putting sugar on cream, visually stunning but far too schmaltzy for its own good. A real shame and...( read more)

September 3, 2009Other than being pretty Biblically incorrect, it was an ok movie. Very sad!

August 25, 2008If nothing else this movie is a gourmet feast for your eyes. The sets and colors are pretty magnificent. Everything else, however, is kind of lackluster.
The story is unique enough, nothing special, and nothing you couldn't predict. The only thing that kept you guessing was...( read more) -

November 13, 2009Wow Wow Wow. I saw it 4 years ago and didn't watch it intently. This movie is intense. Crazy realization of life after death possibilities that'll turn you on your head. This movie is art... its about love and loss, and it competes with some of the most epic fantacies ever produced.

February 28, 2009(1998 Director: Vincent Ward) Truly amazing...cried watching this one....I mean heart wrenching........spiritual questions, truths and true love.....
Story morphs in and out of one scene into a previous scene. This uniqure concept of "Heaven" and the afterlife is mind boggling. Top rate! (Keep the box of Kleenex close & handy)
Cuba Gooding Jr. & Robin Williams should have won academy awards for their performances..and then there is the treat of Max Von Sydrow. Keeps you always guessing -

December 15, 2008this is one of my most favorite movies ever! I saw this movie on Oct. 2, 1998, the year it came out, the day it came out in theater. I saw it up on the big screen. this movie made me cry from beginning to end it seems. there has never been Any movie done of the caliber of this movie, and I doubt there ever will be again. this movie is a One of a kind. there is None like it. the vivid colors used, the way the tapastrys came to life, the imagination of each moment, the emotions displayed, the enduring love that even death couldn't overcome or seperate. all i can say is Wow! Magnificant job you All did, who took part in the making of this movie. I love this movie so much that I own this one on dvd. I wonder if a love like is portrayed in this movie, is even possible? I loved the raw emotions that robin showed, when he was told there was no way to reach the love of his life, that there was no way he could bring her back, this just goes to show you, that even in Death, Love is Never Ending

October 27, 2008I don't understand why people want to keep labeling this one as "depressing." This movie is so full of hope and the beauty of the cycle of life. What's so depressing about that?

June 17, 2007Excellent movie, want to watch it again and recommend to my friends. the story tells about the love of the family, the everlasting love of the couple that even in hell and in heaven they never separated.

June 6, 2007The damn-movie was way too sweet. The book was a little more vivid like they always are, but you can really get good fear from hell if read the book. Also, their is a different variation with how and who the people are affecting the main dude's life, like if they were the kidz or vice-versa. Thus, it was a fr33king sweet-ass movie....
